Trigger a port mod message to request an MTU change on the NIC when any physical port representor is assigned a new MTU value. The driver waits 10 msec for an ack that the FW has set the MTU. If no ack is received the request is rejected and an appropriate warning flagged. Rather than maintain an MTU queue per repr, one is maintained per app. Because the MTU ndo is protected by the rtnl lock, there can never be contention here. Portmod messages from the NIC are also protected by rtnl so we first check if the portmod is an ack and, if so, handle outside rtnl and the cmsg work queue. Acks are detected by the marking of a bit in a portmod response. They are then verfied by checking the port number and MTU value expected by the app. If the expected MTU is 0 then no acks are currently expected. Also, ensure that the packet headroom reserved by the flower firmware is considered when accepting an MTU change on any repr.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
